Book Review: Honor's Lark by Rachel L Hamm

Honor's Lark by Rachel L Hamm

My Rating: 5 out of 5!

My thoughts...

I won this book from Goodreads Giveaway. After scouring the giveaway section of Goodreads, I came upon this book and after a quick review of the summary, I thought it was something difeerent. When I found out that I won, I was happy and looked forward to reading it.

In a world where everyone is assigned a lifemate at birth by the Gods, thirty year-old Honor is still looking for hers. When her new boss, Sedric, points out that her mate probably died before they met, Honor embarks on a quest for closure. She needs to know who her mate was and what he was like so she can move on with her life. 

Can I just say, first of all, wow. I never thought I would become hooked to this book. A 253 page read, it was short, but amazing. I zoomed through this book with ernest, wanting to found out what happened next. I loved how unique the plot was and how intriguing the sub plots were. I also loved the different world Rachel created, where everyone had a lark (an incomplete design) somewhere on their body and it only completed when you found your mate. It was a world similar to our own and you could easily relate to. A genius idea! 

This book is easy to read and will have you hooked from the start. You will also fall in love with the characters. I hope there will be a sequel :)

My favourite book, so far this year!

From Notting Hill to New York... Actually Review

From Notting Hill To New York... Actually By Ali McNamara

My Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

My thoughts... 

I absolutely loved the first book 'From Notting Hill, with love actually.' And equally I adored this one, just the same. I whizzed through this book in four days! I just could not put it down.

We are delved into the wonderful, and exciting world of Scarlett who has now been living in Notting Hill for one year. However, things aren't as rosy as they once were with her and Sean, as they are now settled and living together. Scarlett is obsessed with the internet and tracking celebrities on Twitter, meanwhile her best friend, the fabulous and care free Oscar suggests they go and visit the Antiques Roadshow. With nothing to show, Scarlett manages to find a brooch at the bottom of her jewellery box. And the adventure begins...

Ali's writing is just so good, the way the story flowed, it was so easy to keep turning the pages and before you knew it, you have finished the book! As I was reading and laughing at the same time, I couldn't help but think, that I could see these books becoming a Richard Curtis film. They are just so light and fluffy and all that a Richard Curtis film is.

Well done Ali for creating a world I love so much. Now, I'm wanting to read the third one!

End of May Haul

I actually purchased these book last month and they didn't arrive until today. So, I was super excited when the doorbell went, so much so, that I whacked my elbow on the door frame, in a hurry to open it 😳 And this is what was inside it! City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare, Allegiant by Veronica Roth, Splintered by A.G Howard and AngelFall by Susan EE. 

I cannot wait to start reading these books, so excited. Where do I start?
